Advisory opinion request from Ms. Judith Bell a former employee of the Department of Motor Vehicles regarding any post employment restrictions that would prevent her from opening a driving school. |
|
Ms. Bell worked for the State of Louisiana for over 19 years as a Motor Vehicle Compliance Analyst. She retired in October of 2011. Ms. Bell would like to file an application to open a driving school. Part of her job with the Department was to administer the Road Test. However, she would like to note that she did not teach anyone how to drive when administering the driving test. She has completed the training courses for new time driving school applicants. She has purchased the required insurance and is currently renting a building for her driving school.
